A spotlessly clean and fresh room, very very convenient, easy to find, easy to park. Kitchenette area a nice surprise. And the room was quiet and we had a sound sleep.

In an excellent location to everything. Easy access to the highway to or from Melbourne. Loved the car parks, larger than usual and some were undercover. Staff upon booking in & out were friendly and helpful. Would stay there again if in Aararat

Stayed at Ararat Motor Inn and overall, it’s a good place to stay. Our booking was ‘upgraded’ from a single queen bed to a twin setup, which felt a bit odd for a couple. Honestly, I couldn’t notice much of an upgrade. On the positive side, the Wi-Fi was stable and fast, and the bed linen was fresh and comfortable. However, the towels seemed a little worn out and could use an update.

This motel restored my faith in the quality of country motels between Adelaide and Melbourne. The room was spotless bathroom well equipped with large bath sheets and a fantastic shower! We really appreciated the consumables - great De Longhi Coffee maker with generous pods that guaranteed a strong cup! Wish this quality was available at our regular overnights in Horsham and Bordertown. Thoroughly appreciated this stay

It's actually good for the price - has everything but held in various places you have to find; our aircon was held together with sticky tape & there was little heat eventhough we had it on 27degrees C all night. The bedding is made up of a sheet & blanket type covers. Very difficult to move. Our friend next door had an electric blanket. We didn't.

The owners go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. They clean rooms to an excellent level. The bed and linen is A1 comfortable. Cosy yet not too soft A nice topper on the mattress made sure of this. Bathroom lovely accessible and clean with ample towels. They even put on the heating so the room was warm when we arrived just after 8:45pm. Reception contacts you via text if you will be late and explains which room is open for you. So simple. Family room business with high marks due to them.
